Over the past two decades, there has been a resurgence of strategies implemented to suppress the Black vote and others in communities of color.\n<br>\n<br>\nBarriers in front of the ballot box, cutting voting times, purging voter rolls, and the imposition of voter identification laws have placed special burdens on African Americans. They are not the only group whom this is impacting: young and older voters, poor people, and BIOOC citizens are all being negatively impacted.\n<br>\n<br>\nThe Ohio NAACP continues to educate Ohioans about the regressive strategies designed to impact the Black vote. Voter fraud and illegal voting are not widespread within the Black community. What is widespread are the challenges to disenfranchisement of eligible voters due to lack of accepted identification at the polls and vote purges.\n<br>\n<br>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.acluohio.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2Ffield_documents%2Fleagueofwomenvotersofohio-v-ohioredistrictingcommission_complaint_2021-0923.pdf&amp;amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7C6d17bdd6085e48a0acb008d9cd600e6a%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637766634700986528%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;amp;sdata=SxkDlzchwQ6aYZ3QO9ig0lLQT%2F8G5c2KFhv4DmlAmgE%3D&amp;amp;reserved=0\">Supreme Court of Ohio Case<\/a>\n<br>\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/09\/23\/us\/politics\/ohio-redistricting-aclu-voting-rights.html\">Ohio Redistricting Voting Rights<\/a><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-8072\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tab\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-8072\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-right\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"\" class=\"elementor-toggle-title\">Voting Access <\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-8072\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"2\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-8072\">Early voting and automatic registration help every eligible American be prepared to vote.
